Autograph letter signed to the French minister and deputy Louis Loucheur.
Two pages in-8° in English. (Paris). February 10, 1924.
“I foresee considerable changes on both sides of the Channel in the near future. »
Beautiful letter from Churchill – then without a mandate – inviting Loucheur to an informal dinner (he still indicates the dress code “ short coats black ties ”) but from which we can guess the diplomatic and political discussions as suggested by the future Prime Minister.

“My dear Loucheur, My wife and I hope to have you and Madame Loucheur here for dinner at 8:30 p.m. It will be quieter here than in the café and we will be able to talk freely. Crewe who was due to come is unfortunately forced to stay at home with his wife who is slowly recovering from a severe bout of flu, and has begged us to apologize. So there will be four . Short jackets and black ties . I look forward to seeing you again; as I foresee considerable changes on both sides of the Channel in the near future. With all my good wishes. Believe me sincerely yours. Winston S. Churchill. »
